Manufacturer description

The Capshi 6FT HDMI to VGA cable connects an HDMI laptop, desktop, Chromebook, or Raspberry Pi straight to an older VGA monitor or projector. It converts the digital HDMI signal to analog VGA at up to 1080p Full HD, so you can keep using a spare office display or a conference-room projector. Setup is plug and play. You don't install drivers, and most devices don't need external power. The six-foot length reaches from a laptop on a lectern to a projector input without an extension. The cable has a nylon braided jacket and an aluminum alloy shell, and it's light enough to coil into a laptop…

SpecPicks scored Capshi 6FT HDMI to VGA Male Adapter 1080P using a rating × review-volume × price-fit model applied to published specs and reviews across the display & crt accessories category. Capshi's display & crt accessories lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this cable to connect a VGA computer to an HDMI monitor?

No. The Capshi cable only works in one direction. The HDMI end must plug into the source device, such as a laptop or PC, and the VGA end into the monitor or projector.

Will the Capshi HDMI to VGA cable work with my MacBook Pro or Mac mini?

Capshi says the cable is not compatible with MacBook Pro, Mac mini, Apple TV, PS4, or Blu-ray players. It is intended for laptops, desktops, Chromebooks, Raspberry Pi, and similar HDMI devices.

What is the maximum resolution?

The cable supports resolutions up to 1080p Full HD. Actual output depends on what your source device sends and what your VGA display can show.

Do I need to install drivers or plug in a power adapter?

No drivers are required. Capshi says no external power is needed for most devices, so you connect the cable and start using it. Check the product listing if your source device has a low-power HDMI port.

Will this cable carry audio to my projector?

The product listing only mentions video conversion, and a VGA connection carries video only. If you need sound, use your computer's speakers or a separate audio cable to the projector or speakers.
